This book is actually an expanded review of the Fitchett-Nolan book and its thesis. For each of the nine cases and for each of the three associated critiques, I have provided a summary. Following that, I add my own critique of each case itself and of each associated critique. Following that is a summary and critique of the chapter on ethical concerns by David B. McCurdy. Finally, I set the entire book in the context of the clinical pastoral training tradition.
Most of the published work on clinical pastoral supervision seems to have focused on principles and theory. The value of the Fitchett-Nolan work is that it is based on specific clinical cases, the nine cases that are published in the book itself. I hope they will have set the standard for future publications. Theory is useful, but nothing is quite as useful nor quite as engrossing as a specific clinical case.
Fitchett, in his introduction to the book, argues for more published cases in the clinical pastoral training field. The current paucity of published clinical cases is actually puzzling in that the movement itself began a century ago with the study of cases. The founder of clinical pastoral training, Anton Boisen, actually made himself and his personal troubles the principal "case." Therefore, I second Fitchett's call for more published cases in the field as the best route for learning the art and science of pastoral care, counseling. and psychothereapy.
The work that follows is a running commentary on the 9 cases as well as the 27 commentaries on the cases and on the summary essay, "Ethical Issues in Case Study Publication.” In addition to the two editors, six additional persons appear as critics of some of the cases. For better or for worse, I have commented on each and every one.
I have elected throughout not to name the specific chaplains whose work is included herein. I am not thereby keeping a confidence. Their names and current positions are clearly identified in the Fitchett-Nolan book itself. But I am electing not to expose them further. I prefer to grant them what meager privacy yet available to them, which is not much.
I actually feel some admiration for the nine who put their clinical pastoral work on view for all the world to see—and to pick apart. It is a very courageous choice to put one's work in the public arena for scrutiny. It is also potentially hurtful, particularly if one has thin skin, and, more so, if one has enemies eager to enter the fray for purposes of devaluation. No one is without flaws. No professional works without missteps. And no one is immune to certain blindnesses. But few would choose to lay their flaws and missteps open to public scrutiny. We have to applaud the courage of these presenting chaplains and pastoral counselors who have laid their professional work open to public examination in this book. They have my admiration and my esteem.
But, as the reader will see, I have not elected to coddle or to consider the feelings of the presenters of the nine cases published here. I am assuming that they are professionals prepared to receive straightforward critique of their work. Nor do I spare their published critics. Nor do I myself expect to be spared strong rebuttal, particularly in instances where I might have been wrong or uninformed.

Nine Clinical Cases edition by Raymond Lawrence Robert Powell Health Fitness Dieting eBooks Reviews
Reading, I found again that which I had lost a sense of the soul of pastoral care—to listen for the voice, the humanity of a patient As I read, I was reminded of my first two units of training and the excitement of pastoral ministry. Perhaps most of all I found the crispness of the commentary helpful as I survey the often fuzzy landscape of both parishes and institutional work in this day and age.
I thank you for your cogent words, honest reflections, and pastoral acumen.
This is a must-read for clinical chaplains, pastoral counselors, and psychotherapists. Lawrence artfully takes the reader along through nine clinical cases in a meaningful and informative way that will cause any reader to give pause to the message that pastoral care and counseling is being diluted today, without a doubt, and will slip into the "spiritual care" oblivion and obsoleteness if clinical chaplains are not careful.
Well done.
Hard hitting analysis
Essential reading for any clinical Chaplain or CPE student.

This book clearly articulates, though not specifically, but by critique the different approaches to "pastoral care." The two approaches to pastoral care are from CPSP and ACPE.
